Hi packer, I have a friend with the same problem, he brought it round the other night, we removed and resoldered the jtag but no joy. Its giving the same reading in the BK as u r getting. We tried going in to em and connecting bke but still nothing. Tried it with OCD, BKE and SDT and all giving dodgy bk's.
The problem seems that the box itself wont go into debug mode, the green light comes on ok but channel 0 doesnt come up. The tv screen just shows the black screen with the virgin logo and loading on it. Tried a few different bytes as well but still no joy. Net id an freq r fine, but we reset them anyway just incase.
The only one thing i noticed that didnt look normal was the date and time settings in the em. It is showing a date of 7th January 2007 even after the battery is shorted an the box updates. I dont know if this is a problem or not, maybe its nothing but i thought it was odd. I dont remember what version of VM software its running but i could find out. btw its a sammy 2100 and in pure ntl.
any ideas or suggestions would be really appreciated...
